Opening JPEG images in Preview slow as molasses

Used to load instantly with Tiger, but is now completely unusable.
My machine meets minimum requirements for Snow Leopard, and the OS is freshly installed and completely up to date. Other image formats work fine. Other apps open JPEGs instantly.
This is a screen capture.

Kinda disappointed here. Only logical conclusion is that Preview is defective. How do I get it fixed?

I can't quote a technical article, but, from my own experience, it appears SL needs a lot more resources including RAM. 2 GB isn't a whole lot these days - I'd definitely recommend to max out your machine; not sure what your model would allow, but probably 4?
Looking at my Activity Monitor right now with nothing running except Firefox, it is showing me that 1.93 GB of RAM are being used - Firefox using about 250 MB - so the remainder is being used by the system. So, if I only had a total of 2 GB, there wouldn't be a whole lot of RAM available for doing much of anything....

Can't open jpeg image

I'm using Adobe photoshop 7.0 and usually when I open a jpeg image it just opens but some jpeg images don't open properly. There is this jpeg image that when I try to open it it either displays an error message that it's not the right kind of file or brings up a dialog box as if I'm trying to open a new custom blank page and asks me what size, transparency etc. and no matter what I select it always opens a blank page and I could not actually see the image that's supposed to be there. In any other program it will open normally and display as a normal jpeg image in picture viewer or GIMP image editor but oddly won't open in Adobe Photoshop. I tried to open the same file in GIMP image editor and it opens the file but when I try to save the file, strangely it advises me to export the file before saving it. I believe that the jpeg file may have invisible layers that photoshop can't handle but I could not get rid of the layers properly. I've tried to flatten the image and export the file to a normal jpeg file and delete all invisible layers but even after all this, when I save it as a normal jpeg file and open it again in adobe photoshop it still can't open the file. Does anyone know how I can force the program to display the image and or permanently get rid of the weird layers or markers that has been preventing this file from opening in Adobe Photoshop?

Thank you for your assistance Nancy. Your process almost completely worked. The exception is that when I tried to copy the image from an webpage such as Firefox (I do not have internet explorer), it was not getting through to the Adobe Photoshop clipboard and therefore could not be pasted. However, I simply saved the image from a Firefox window as a different file name and that solved the problem. Now the copied image can be opened in Adobe Photoshop. Thank you for your help.
sincerely,
Jon

Can't open jpeg images from a DVD

I was given a DVD full of jpeg images that were conversions from old photos. I pop the DVD into the Macbook, click the DVD icon and it opens as a folder full of jpeg images. When I hit one to open it, I get the message "the alias __jpeg can't be opened because the original item can't be found."
"Original item"? Huh?
Is there a problem with the disk, the photos or the computer?
Possible clue: putting the DVD into the computer does not automatically open any program(iPhoto or anything else). Thanks, in advance, for any help.

It sounds like whoever gave you the disk didn't actually burn the files, but only aliases of them.
Select any file on the DVD and go File -> Get Info. How big is the file?

Opening JPEG images in ACR

I read in a library book that I can work with JPEG images in ACR by going to file >Open as selecting image and choosing the camera raw option. However the selected image appears in the main editing space, not in camera raw. I`m using elements 10 with windows XP. Can anyone tell me where I`m going wrong?

What's your screen vertical resolution ?
On some notebooks, it seems it is inferior to the required minimum vertical resolution for the camera raw dialog to appear (I am not sure, something like 800 pixels). Then the automatically converted raw may be opened in the normal editor.
Don't trust me too much for that, that's something I have never tested myself.

Opening JPEG images

For some reason, none of my JPEG images can be opened by
Dreamweaver 8. Simply comes up as "cannot open file". As far as I
know these are all just standard JPEG images. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Dw does not open a image file as such, but you get Dw to
display it in
it's design view by "inserting" it into the page you are
designing.
With the cursor at the position on the page you want to
insert the
image ( in a table cell - or a css layout ) use:
Insert | Image
and navigate to the image using the Select source image box.

Cannot open JPEG images in Photoshop CS3

When I try to open jpeg pictures in photoshop cs3, i get an error: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker type is found."
It has just recently begun doing this, like maybe three days ago. Has anyone ever seen this error, or know how to solve it?
my system specs... AMD Turion tl-60 @ 2.0 GHz, 4gb Ram in vista 32 SP1, nvidia ge-force 7600, main hdd 200 GB 7200 RPM drive, 2nd hdd 80 GB 5400 RPM drive

I am getting errors (same as at top of thread, "invalid JPEG marker") saving a TIF as a JPEG, and then attempting to reopen the JPEG.
It seems to mostly work OK the first time, but if I then reopen the same TIF and save as a JPEG again - that JPEG will usually be corrupted. If I close Elements 2 each time, before opening a TIF and saving another JPEG, there is no problem.
I tried opening the corrupt JPEG with several other programs, and it definitely is corrupted.
This error did not occur several months ago as far as I am aware. We have tried this on all 4 of our computers. I am thinking that a Windows Update may be causing the problem. I tried using System Restore to go back to April 17th, but after 45 mins it announced that it couldn't restore, so I am reluctant to try another date.)

I can't open jpeg images. Is there an encryption setting?

I am trying to view a jpeg image sent to my email on my iphone from a remote computer. The images will not appear. Is there an encryption setting?

I am not familiar with this app, but I have never had any trouble with jpegs and email. What email client are you using the send the file? Are you using HTML or plain text in your email? Is Mime activated? Arre you attaching the file, or pasting it in the body of the email? When you check the email, is it completely downloaded? If you scroll to the bottom of the email, does it show that it is fully downloaded? In the mail settings, is Load Remote Images on?
Have you done any troubleshooting on the phone? Standard user troubleshooting includes restart (powering off/on), reset (holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release), restore from backup and if needed, restore as a new device.
Again, have you ever received a jpeg from anyone in mail and been able to see it? Can you try from a different mail client and see if it works?

Unable to open multiple images in preview from finder

I open a folder that contains a lot of .jpg photo files and select all and then open from the finder menu. In Leopard all the images are opened in one instance of preview. But after upgrade to Snow Leopard, only one or two of the selected images are opened. Will there be a fix for this?

I found another thread on this - the problem seems to be restricted to .jpg files downloaded after the upgrade to 10.6. I will try the workaround of deleting the files and then dragging them back from the trash.

Applescript to add open images in Preview into iPhoto?

I've got an eyefi card in my digital camera that sends my pics directly to a folder on my laptop in which a folder action runs that automatically opens the image in preview. What I'd like to do next is to close the images I don't want, and then run an applescript that will take the remaining open images in Preview and import them into iPhoto.
I guess if I were to do it manually, I would drag the proxy icon of each window into iPhoto? But that would create several separate events in iPhoto since it would import them one at a time. It would be ideal if there was a way for Applescript to locate the open images in finder, and then import all of those images into iPhoto all at once. Is this possible? If so, any tips on how to get started with that? I'm a newb to Applescript, so be gentle.

It sounds like you've been doing the search in the menubar Spotlight field. If so, here are two things to try:
One, when you have located the image you think you want to open, hit Command-Return, which will open (in a new Finder window) the folder in which the image file is located, even if it is inside your iPhoto library. The default application for opening the image then should be Preview (it is for me).
Two, select "Show All" at the top of the results, which opens a Finder search window. An image file in the resulting list, even if it is inside the iPhoto package, will open by default in Preview (That's what it does for me.)
Hope this helps.

Spotlight doesn't open images in preview but in iphoto

After I upgraded to Snow Leopard, whenever I search for a photo file in spotlight that it is inside the iphoto library, and I select it from the spotlight menu search results, it will open iphoto instead of preview. How can I make spotlight to open always images on Preview??
Thanks

Preview won't open multiple images

When I open one image in preview, it opens fine. If I open a second image, the first image disappears. If I try and open multiple images at once, the drawer slides out, but it's empty, and again, only one image will show up. Any ideas?

Hello, if you cannot figure out how to fix the issue I have a nice PDF combiner and exporter, you can write in any application, Text Edit, Pages, Word, and export to PDF, combine with this tool.

Can't open Raw images from Nikon D3200

I can not open RAW files taken on Nikon 3200
HW & SW: Nikon 3200: Apple MacBook Pro OS v. 10.8.5, Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, Adobe Lightroom 5, Adobe DNG Converter
I had a Nikon D60 and used a removable card to store images. No problem.
One week ago, I bought a Nikon D3200 and still use the same memory cards I had used with the D60.
I have taken about 100 pictures in Aperture, Shutter and Automatic mode, all in RAW format.
Am using Nikon Transfer to import the images from the card to the MacBook.
Photoshop will open JPEG images captured from the D3200 in the JPEG format, but not those captured in RAW format.
I can preview the images on the D3200, but when I download to the Mac, the images do not open in Photoshop Elements 11, or in Adobe DNG 8.2, or in Adobe Lightroom 5.
Photoshop failure message is: “Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.”
DNG Converter failure message is: “The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files.”
Adobe Lightroom failure message is: “The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom.”
I have downloaded most recent versions of Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe DNG. I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. When I try to open or import the images, the same failure messages occur.
So far Adobe products are failing and am hoping there is a solution.

For pse 8/LR 3 you would need the 8.3 Dng Converter to convert yout Nikon D3200
files to dng copies that can be open/inported by pse 8 or LR3
Since the camera raw version required is 7.1/LR4.1 or later and pse 8 (only up to camera raw 6.2) can't use that camera raw version, the dng converter is needed.

Resizing an image in Preview

When I view some of my pictures in Preview they are way too big. I know I can zoom out or zoom to fit or change the size int the Scale window, but I want to make the size change permanent. Isn't there a way to do this?

These are instructions from Preview in Lion, but I'm sure they're similar in 10.4.
Open an image in Preview/Tools/Adjust Size. You should "Save As" and keep the originals. Once they are resized, you can not enlarge them agian without losing quality. 1024x768 pixels is a good overall size for viewing on the computer and emailing.
